Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Hold on, there's a hole in my heart

 Everyone can see right through me

 It goes all the way to the waves

 Where my love she tried to wash it away

 See we break for the summers so she can find lovers

 She thinks that they're bottles of wine

 They make you dinner and they sing you to sleep

 But by the morning find the bottle is empty

 'Cause she never gives it the time

 Every bottle she finds, they don't compare

 To the ones she left behind; There is never a note

 So she waits for me to come back home

Chorus 1

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 You wish that smoke could change its color

 I love it when you talk so much

 And act like nothing went wrong

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 We sit and find flaws in everyone

 I want to keep you by my side

 Holding off tidal waves

Verse 2

 "Mint Car" is keeping us warm

 She lays crossed upon the bed

 We are puzzles making shapes with our hands

 I take my finger, turn it into a pen

 Then I run my hand down your spine

 You guess to write something profound, Something like:

 "Our love will last 'til we die"

I say "you're good at this game"

 but what I really wrote is

 How I've yet to be saved

Chorus 2

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 You wish that smoke could change its color

 I love it when you talk so much

 And act like nothing went wrong

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 We sit and find flaws in everyone

 I want to keep you by my side

 Holding off tidal waves

Refrain

I'm searching for a dead end song

You wish that smoke could change its color

I wanna get you right by my side

I'm searching for a dead end song

We sit and find flaws in everyone

I want to keep you right by my side

Chorus 3

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 You wish that smoke could change its color

 I love it when you talk so much

 And act like nothing went wrong

 I'm looking for a dead end song

 We sit and find flaws in everyone

 I want to keep you by my side

 Holding off tidal waves
